Du it--t Gottenburgh, z Dublin, Sean: accounts were yesterday received from Spain, which we think it our duty to lay before our Readers, though they ought certainly to be received with con- . siderable caution. An American Vessel.hai arrived at Poole, from •St. Andero;the Master of which has Aeelared, upon oath, that an order having been issued b) the French Corninandant for disarming the Inha bitants, they immediately assembled and attacked the French Troops, and after a desperate contest, in Which several hundreds are said to have fallen on both sides, they completely succeeded the French were disarmed, and their Commander imprisoned. The Master of this Vestal alsA atates, that an ac count had reached St. Ander°, from , Barcelona; of a dreadful scene 'of carnage having taken place in that city, ill which .i. 12,000 Spaniards, and 27,000 French,' were killed. It is highly probable that all Ttisurreelion may have taken place in Barcelona, but the numbers stated to have been killed on both sides are evidently exaggerated. Another American Vessel has arrived from Cadiz, which place she left on the Igth nit. ..BY this Ves sel Madrid Gdzeites to the 14th ult. have been re ceived. They do not, however, contain any intelli gence of importance, except the Proclamation cl Mott A-i to the People of Spain, - on the evpning of the 2d of May, in which he endeavours,' by pro mises and by threats, to induce them tnsubmitpa t tientlyto their Invaders, and to save:lo4.ll)6r 'tide tendencewithout a struggle. The Captain states, that he Transports, with the Troops under the coni inand of General . SiUNCEIt i . joined ' Admiral Pult v4 on the. Lith, but that they 'had not* landed eu the ;sth, the day the , Americau 'Vessel sailed.- - The captain says he understood the efil:r'of ow as sistance was rejealed by'the people olCaliz ; but of ,this he could know nothing except frori“umour.-- , - Ihe Gihy point upon which his evidence is of inn :;t ane is its ,t 4 the fact of the Troopa - hcit having , !;!!"en disembrked on the day he sailed, It appears that tine arrival of our ',l l ransports created a consider deiste et alarm in Cadiz; the,Vessels,ran into the, inner harbour, in...great Cbuttiition, as sou `as our Expedition appOred in sight. • Such. are the accounts iven by these Captains ; but wt: must again repeat that 'the'y art:',to bere- Oited ti vtly cottii(l..r.tble degree of cauti qt. 3:1Ie Writers hake iilready, vati) bieui C0..31%4Nacy, begun •tp attack Altnisters tor not having sent ti sufficient term!, t9enanfe the SpAniards to re lisit the invasion of tl4 French.

Just before the Post quitted Stock holm, accounts were said to have been received of a decisive vikaory having been obtained by the Swedish Army in Finland, in which the Russians lest 2,500 men prisoners, and almost all their artillery.

SvANtaaus, The .second of May will be a day of mourhing as well for me as for yourselves. Our cotnmon enemies having first provoked me in a manner to wear out my patience, have conchided by exciting a part of the people of Madrid and of the adjacent villages to such excesses, that in the end it has been necessary to employ the irresistible force confided tcymy command. I was previously informed of the efforts of the ill intentioned, but I still wished to persuade Myself that nothing would disturb the public tranquillity. I was prepared for the worst, but still trusting .tha t my . precaations would be superfluous., This morn ing, the storm I bad long apprehended, has burst. A number Of circumstances and incendiary libels had prepared me for it, by informing me of the means that had been employe'd to mislead the populace• The signal for. the blow was the departure of the Queen of ETaufttA and the Infant DON FRANCISCO, who were Called to Bayonne by the King their. fat her. One of my Aidrde-camps, who was at the time in the Palace, was on the point of perishing, by the hands of the seditious ; at the same time all the French who were found alone in the different quarters of Madrid 'Were assassinated. I was at last cotnpelled to give orders to punish such enor mous offences.- With what horrible joy will the enemies of France and Spain contemplate a day in which generous Frenchmen were cetnpelled to wound deluded Spa niards: The common enemies of both Countries . . will continue to use their efforts to obtain other triumphs, not . less horribly, in other parts of. this beautiful kingcldm. Their futile hopes shall be frustrated through my frankness and your sound judgment. , Brave Spaniards, I speak to you with sincerity, upon an event not less painful to your bo soms than to Mine ; and at the same time I will ex plain 'to you your,sitnation. CHARLV the Fourth And his Son are now met together, at Bayonne, With the Emperor NAror.rioN, to settle the fate of Spain. The Emperor does not think proper to wait the , issue of such a momentous decision, tut make.known to you the feelings that animate him in behalf of a magnanimous nation, which lie is desirous of ,preserving from a revolutionary crisis ; and to call on her to establish such political institu tions as are best adapted to her chara6ler. He therefore assures you, and charges me to repeat to yon, that, he wishes to maintain and secure the in tegrity of the Spanish Alonarelly, be distnemberedol the slightest part of its territory ; it shall not even lose a' village, nor sutler any o f t he contributions, the levy cif' which are authorised by the laws of war in conquered countries, 'bet which the ill-intentioned only will suppose applicable to an Ally. Will you not unite, brave Spaniards, with me, to' prevent the evil-minded from disturbing such a happy prospel. I wilt ,not suppose you capable of such blindness as to suffer yourselves to be led astray by base agitators, who wish to condud you to your ruin _ _ _ When the public repose is the obje& of ogr care, is not th e interest of the army which I command also that of those who have dignities and property to preserve ?
